Month: August 2016

Liquid eyeliners. So tricky yet oh so cool when done precisely. You need nothing less than a pair of steady hands, elbows planted firmly on steady surface and of course, a proper mirror.

The classic me hardly spend a lot on mascaras and eyeliners. I’d rather invest in my contact-lens-wearing-eyes to expensive wands and liners with only 3 months of lifespand. But this stila high shine liquid vinyl eye liner is only RM29 when I grabbed it from a Sephora clearance shelf. What a steal!

The colour is violet but from this swatch on the back of my wrist, it’s clearly dark enough to be mistaken as black, which is fairly natural enough for my dark skintone. But look closely for the second time, you will see the dark deep purple lines with vinyl shine effect. Cool!

When it comes to lips, I admit I’m rather shy to let my lips “shout”. For years, I had been steadily stocking on neutrals and nudes for my lip products. The main reason is purely practical; I’m a sweat queen thus heavy products on my lips cause me to sweat even more around my lips. Eww.

However, lately I’m beginning to screw that and just wanna have fun instead. Good eye makeup or flawless face take much, much longer time to achieve don’t you agree? Let’s just put on lipstick and your face is all dolled up! That’s what got me into purchasing this bright pink essence lipstick in Blush My Lips, shade no. 12. I myself was quite surprised with how it turns out just nice on me. Not only that, Blush My Lips is a perfect match to my pink hijab that I wore on the second day of Syawal holiday!

July had been rather quite in Mascaras and Motherhood. That means too much time spending on visiting my family and friends over the whole month of Syawal. Now that I have more time for myself, let’s get back to the fun of mascaras, motherhood and all things beauty.
